Patch Set 11:

Hello,

Just for the [public] record.

When designing pluggable infrastructure, the ultimate test is if this 
infrastructure is good enough to be used by all use cases, including internal 
application functionality.

In this case the core product (ovirt) branding can be implemented using the 
same infrastructure, this has [at least] the following advantages:

*  Consistency, all branding packages are implemented using the same mechanism. 
No legacy.

* The infrastructure is used even without any external branding package, this 
way it is always is a working state, no need to test it explicitly.

* The core product branding is a 'full branding' package, which can serve as an 
example for all external branding packages. By its nature it must evolve with 
product, so there is a good reference implementation without maintaining human 
documentation, which is always out of sync.

* It provides clear interface (contract) between application and plugins, 
whatever exists in the core product branding package is available to external 
packages.

I am recommending to re-consider the current approach and implement the core 
branding as a package. It should be easy facing this work...

Thank you,
Alon
